Update:
Debian bug report
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775404 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775404)
I got a similiar error after du tonight:
Jan 20 22:02:07 siduction64kdefx systemd-sysv-generator[254]: Failed to create unit file /run/systemd/generator.late/keymap.service: File exists
Except mine involves keymap.service, a 0 byte link to itself (At least that's what I'm seeing).
Is removing this file the solution? I'm not seeing a straight answer while reading the bug report.
TIA
@GoinEasy9,
on my computer the network.service bug was resolved by following the package maintainers hint.
But: The other similar (?) bug concerning keymap.service could not be resolved: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775692 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775692)
And: Severity of those both bugs was set to 'serious' requested by maintainer Michael Biebl.
Greetings
Tom
@samoht Thanks for the explanation and the link to the keymap.service bug. Today's posts to that bug show the error has been fixed in systemd 215-10. Also, the du this morning brought in 215-10 which fixed the keymap.service problem. So, all is well again. Thanks again.
